For I'ma goin', I'ma goin' away
For to stay a little while
But I'm comin' back if I go ten thousand miles

Oh, who will tie your shoes?
And who will glove your hand?
And who will kiss your ruby lips when I am gone?

For I'ma goin', I'ma goin' away
For to stay a little while
But I'm comin' back if I go ten thousand miles
